MCLEAN, Va., March 31, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- A group of leading talent acquisition and human resource technology companies, including Jobfox Inc., are introducing ResumePal(TM) as the recruiting industry's first - and only -universally accepted online employment profile. ResumePal revolutionizes the way job seekers and employers connect on the Internet.

With ResumePal ( www.resumepal.com), job seekers complete online profiles - one time - to apply to jobs at thousands of companies accepting the standard. ResumePal replaces the time consuming online forms process found on most major employer career sites and delivers better and more accurate candidate information to hiring companies.

By using ResumePal to apply to a company, candidates are instantly routed to the jobs that best fit their profile - now and for future job openings at that company. No more guessing about whether a job is the right fit. No more exhaustive forms. No more job applications falling into black holes.

"An unavoidable characteristic of today's highly mobile and social environment is the challenge of keeping information about ourselves up-to-date," said Lisa Rowan, Program Director, HR, Learning and Talent Strategies at IDC. "By making job applications dramatically simpler for job seekers and ensuring that the resume seen is the most current, Jobfox is easing this burden. ResumePal has the potential to quickly become a standard for both job seekers and employers."

Thousands of top employers will automatically benefit from ResumePal through their ResumePal-supported applicant tracking solutions at no additional cost. Other employers should visit ResumePal ( www.resumepal.com) to learn how they too can begin accepting ResumePal on their careers websites.

"The ResumePal concept is nothing short of revolutionary," said Ralph Doran, Talent Acquisition Manager at Black & Decker. "The talent management challenges that ResumePal is designed to address are very real, undoubtedly impacting the bottom line of every major corporation in America. We wholeheartedly support the movement toward this new standard in taking online recruiting to an entirely new level of efficiency and effectiveness."

Job candidates can create their portable career profiles by going directly to ResumePal, a free service at www.resumepal.com, or by visiting any employer site accepting ResumePal.
